I grew up with the NES and really don't mind the graphics. I still feel some of the best music in gaming came from the SNES. It just seemed like back then there was more focus on story and music because graphics could only go so far. I've seen games that look awesome, but fail in the music and/or storyline department.

I didn't really grow up with them (N64/gamecube were my first consoles), but I did play with my brother on his NES and I didn't care about the graphics, I still prefer the older games to some of the newer ones.

Not even a question... Retro Mega Man-esque pixels is what I enjoyed about my childhood.... Got my little nephew playing TMNT 1989, so he understands that these CG-heavy FPS platforms owe a lot to the 2-D side scrollers that paved the way for them...
